JuJy 23, 1926 WILMETTE LIFE rr-·1 23 I i Unparalleled Precision what it means in ·building the 1, S{'] i ou-. 0~- THE remarkably smooth operation of the eight cylinder, 60 degree Lin coin motor is to a large measure due to its preci,ion workmanship. Higher precision standards are maintained in building the Lincoln Motor Car than in any other m·anufactured product. So strong a statement can perhaps be better appreciated by ·a consider~tion of the following facts: Five thousand operations are held to the 1 I 000 of an inch- one-third the thickness of a human hair. Twelve hundred operations are held to I. 2000 of an inch. Three hundred operations are held to 1. 4000 of an inch. l'n'.; . (I \l Such standards of precise workmanship had never before been considered practical, even by watchmakers. Yet they are the day- by-day rule in Lincoln manufacture. This is one of the vital reasons for the long continuation of fine performance . Such exact and minute limits account for the perfect interchangeability of Lincoln parts. For example, the spring shackle bolts on the Lincoln are exactly the same to the I/ 2000 of an inch. Only the ideal of building the finest car humanly possible, together with the . resourceC\ and facilities to carry out that ideal, could have given the world so worthy an automobile as today's Lincoln. l\ I \. \(ltl ( Triangle Motors, Inc.)
